Valentines Day Present

I had been working on making things out of felt for a while and started making little envelopes for Chloe to play with. She has a mailbox on one of her toys and loves putting things and taking things out of it. What a perfect gift for my little Valentine!

Christmas Crafts

Now that the gifts have been given I can share my few homemade Christmas gifts. My favorite was the Cupcakes. I took a pair of the fuzzy sock/slippers and rolled them in a spiral and tied them in place. Then took some scrapbook paper and wrapped it around to make the cupcake liner. Decorated it with a little ribbon and tossed them into a bag!

The ornaments were just pre painted wood cut outs and I added some chunky glitter and decoupaged a picture on it. The others came out really well but I gave them away before I took pictures!

Cupcake Shirt

Yet another one for the collection. I must say I am good with an iron :P

Shirts

I was bored one afternoon and made some quick shirts using sponge stamps and some fabric paint. Not too bad for a 15 min deal. I'm sure with some practice they would come out quite nice!

Baby Barrettes

Last month I made a ton of cute hair barrettes for baby girl. I had a lot of fun! I think my favorites are the lady bug, and the flowers. They look so cute in her hair.. or what little hair she has :) I pretty much used a lot of things I had laying around and bought a few extras. I went to a scrapbook store where I could buy ribbon by the inch to cut cost since I am only making them for myself right now. The flowers were from scrapbook supplies and some were those adhesive ribbons that you can just peel and stick. No hot glue gun required!

Finished Items!!

Hooray! Finally some completed projects. I took a few pics with the bad camera though :(
Here is the completed blue dress, it is too big for her to wear now but hopefully next spring or summer will fit. Currently her big bear is wearing it!





I also finished her Owl Jumper.

Craftiness is in the air

Ok, so now I am overloaded with projects and can't seem to focus on just one! I finished my eye pillow but didn't end up taking any pictures! Ughh, I will make another soon. Right now I am working on a dress for my daughter who is 11 mo old. It is blue gingham and almost complete! I have gathered up some material for two other dresses as well. One is a brown corduroy and I am going to modify the pattern of the blue dress to make it a bit shorter and use as a jumper with pants for the fall. I also am going to try and make a pillow case style dress out of the owl material which is sooo cute!


I was bored with all the white in Babys room so decided to make a picture! It ended up being huge and I hope I can find a way to hang it so she wont pull it off. I wanted something natural looking with a lot of color so a tree came to mind. I used foam board for the back (not sure if it was a good idea since it curled inward from the paint) and scrapbook paper for the tree and leaves. I added some fancy stamps to fill in the blank spaces and give it a girly touch. The final part of my idea is to add an owl and a little hole on the trunk. Also, originally had an idea to hang little framed pictures from the branches but not sure if I will end up doing that. It may be a bit much.

Hmm, what is all this material and felt for! Check back soon to find out! :)
